Civilizations
create knives.Derived cutlery styles
are individual and linked to the culture, ethnicity and-? geographic domain of the
people.-?Philippines vibrant cutlery history is as varied as its indigenous people. A Filipino knife of the Moro
people is a Barong. Barongs are wide,
leaf-shaped blades.They come in all sizes,
long and short, but commonly have thick curving bellies angling downward and
aligning the wrist with the cutting edge.

Championing ethnic-influenced knifemaking is
artist Ed Schempp. A curious world wanderer, Ed is also an esteemed
metallurgist, Damascus
maker, wheat farmer and knife designer. He's crafted several stylized ethnic folders with Spyderco, the latest based
on the Barong. A pronounced spine-cusp
and choil indent give great control over the wide and stable blade, designed
originally for controlling vegetation and personal safety. The blade is VG-10 and ground fully-flat. Its G-10 handle is foliage green with a Michael
Walker LinerLock-?, full- length internal liners and an ambidextrous tip-up clip.
